Ready for canned soft food and wishing I would move faster instead of taking pictures.

This guy is getting close to 20 years old (got him in 2004).

Still eats out of my hand - every single morning.

JJ 911SC · 04-24-2023, 07:05 PM

At least she is not smoking it...

RickFLM4 · 04-24-2023, 07:22 PM

Today was Ginger’s turn at the vet for dental cleaning. She had 2 teeth removed - nothing like Winston thankfully. Glad we got it done, even though it was a little traumatic for her and we now have 2 dogs on soft food for a while.

Man I feel for you. $$
Dogs with the little snouts and their teeth issues.

Insurance paid 90%+ of Winston’s round 1. Claim pending for his round 2 and need to submit claim for Ginger. Without insurance, it would be around $3K combined. Hopefully we’re under $1,000 after insurance reimbursements but difficult to tell until claims are done.

Our pet insurance is a pain in the ass. I swear it's like that Great Benefit movie with Matt Damon...just decline everything the first time it's processed.

When it does finally go through...it's nice to have though.

We have found the key with our insurance is making sure there is a clear diagnosis on the receipt or separate form from the vet to submit with the claim when there is a treatment. Not all vets make the diagnosis clear on paper so we ask them to do so because we have insurance.

But I can’t keep track of caps on procedures / treatments, deductibles, etc., so it’s always a little bit of a surprise when the check arrives. Sometime nothing, sometimes less than we expect and every once in a while, more than we expect.

Celeste is definitely a diva. She knows she's cute and gets away with everything. She photographs very well, and can vary her look from super cute to absolutely sinister, and she's been doing it since she was a puppy.

Absolutely beautiful. I had a friend on here a few years back that had a Samoyed and he used to post a lot of pics of him. We loved seeing those photos and commenting on the wonderful smile his dog had.

Wish I could remember his dog's name...

PS - it just came to me. Apollo.

Celeste is the youngest of our 4 girls. We just love their personalities, disposition, and how beautiful they are. Our dogs have taken over our lives. Not only do they own us, but we also show and breed them. We also do a lot of mentoring of new puppy owners.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

You should post more about her, and your other dogs as well.

Our boy Blue is now 4.5 months and pushing nearly 45 pounds. He gets to lay around all day while we work. He does wake up to glare at the outside happenings. I set up an office space in my garage and he is liking the spot with the space heater throwing some heat his way. But he is getting restless thinking "where is mama??" She is his human for sure.

He is nearly potty trained. We are at a place where he will never potty inside if he goes out every 3 to 4 hours. But Blue hasn't quite connected the dots on communicating with us when he has to go. So if we lose track of time since his last outing there have been some slip ups. Or if there is a lot of chaos going on the house, things like kids screaming, or using the vacuum he could have an accident. It is a work in progress but we are getting there. We have bells at our front door that we have him shake when we take him outside hoping he will start shaking them on his own when he has to go.

Here are some recent pics of the boy

Mister Rabbit came for a visit...

Mr Rabbit wouldn't last 2 minutes in my yard.

Apologies now to the rabbit lovers.
